1. Drawing tablet: A professional drawing tablet can be an excellent gift for your grandpa. It will allow him to create digital artwork and bring his cartoon drawings to life with precision and ease. Look for a tablet that is compatible with animation software, has a pressure-sensitive pen, and a large working area.

2. Animation software: Provide your grandpa with the tools he needs to take his cartoon drawing to the next level. Gift him with a subscription to animation software like Toon Boom Harmony or Adobe Animate. These programs offer a wide range of features and are commonly used by professional animators.

3. Art supplies: Enhance your grandpa's traditional drawing skills by gifting him a high-quality set of art supplies. Consider getting him a pencil set, sketchbooks, markers, and colored pencils. Look for art supplies that are specifically designed for cartoon drawing and animation, such as Copic markers.

4. Animation books: A collection of books on cartoon drawing and animation can be a valuable resource for your grandpa. Look for books that offer step-by-step instructions, techniques, and tips from experienced animators. Some recommended titles include "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams and "Cartoon Animation" by Preston Blair.

5. Online courses or workshops: Enroll your grandpa in online courses or workshops focused on cartoon drawing and animation. Websites like Udemy, Skillshare, or Coursera offer a wide range of courses taught by industry professionals. This will not only enhance his skills but also provide him with a sense of continuous learning and improvement in his passion.

6. Customized merchandise: Look for websites that offer personalized cartoon merchandise. You could get him a t-shirt, coffee mug, or phone case featuring one of his favorite cartoon characters or his own artwork. This way, he can proudly display his passion for cartoon drawing.

7. Visit a cartoon museum or exhibition: Take your grandpa on a day trip to a cartoon museum or exhibition.
